NFL’s request to expedite Elliott’s case denied

A U.S. District Judge has temporarily blocked the NFL’s request to expedite Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott’s hearing on his potential six-game suspension. As a result, he will be able to stay on the field once again, this time he will be able to play against the Washington Redskins on Sunday.

The hearing is scheduled for Oct. 30, the day after the Redskins game. Last week, he was granted a temporary restraining order to keep him on the field against the San Francisco 49ers.
